    I do it like this:

    Mobile with O2 (pre-pay), and Data with Vodafone (Unlimited Data for 49).

    Edit: Have you looked at Vodafone Business Works? It's pricey at 79 euros a month, but does include a lot (400 any network minutes, unlimited Vodafone-to-Vodafone calls, 50MB data, push email, and I think you get a good deal on the new Nokia E61).

    It really depends on your usage. I like the way O2's pre-pay plans are flexible, like I make most of my calls during the day, so I usually only pay 15c, and weekend calls are very cheap (1c at the moment for O2-to-O2, and 12c for other networks).

    Hope this has been of some help.

    must say very good idea, cant jusitify forking out 50 alone for data and want to keep to one company.Dont o2 have any decent data plans?
    Had a look at the business works but too expensive..will never use up those minutes and push email is useless to me. I only use data for web-browsing and email on the move(basically when i get bored and having a o2 xda mini s means i dont have access to live so have to browse the web to look for information).
    My background is that im only a student and not in business, so i usually have around 200 txts a month and id say i yap on the phone for 4hrs a month...so i would like a nice balance data/texts/calls

    I'm on O2 in england, and I get 300 Texts and 75 minutes and 2 megs a month download for £19. Surely there's an O2 Ireland equivilent?

    I'm on O2 but I'm a light user.

    I get €5 call value & 1Mb of data for €15/mth. I think it's an old tariff I'm on so I'm not sure if it's available now. There were similar options for higher levels of data use and they were very competitive at the time I signed up.

    But I'm very tempted to go for the Voda unlimited data offer if I can get it to work with a PDA using a bluetooth phone as a modem (i.e. using the SIM card without the need for a data card).

    I can confirm that this works.
